Here’s the final block of squares…
There’s a single row which runs along the bottom of the these blocks, and in fact I’ve only got 3 more squares to knit and then it’s done.. well the knitting bit is. Sewing it together might take a little while! And weaving in all those ends will be tedious [...]

Cross stitch diamond square
Stocking stitch square with lace panel
Can’t remember what this one is, but it was from a stitch pattern book, rather than doing the magazine one.

Nearly there…
The last square here was meant to be yet another stocking stitch and diamond square so I chose another stitch pattern, which I really like, but I can’t remember what it was called or how it went!

I haven’t shown you any blanket squares for a while so here are a few more:
